Use of the Lubrication Box

In case of intensive use between each

it is recommended to lightly lubricate the external 

O-ring using the lubrication box (part number 

F1077606).

Proceed as follows

• 

Open the box lid

• 

Follow the “Tip Fitting” instructions (refer to 

Tip Fitting

 on page 8)

• 

Eject the tips.

The O-ring lubrication is complete. 

Using a no-fiber wipe, remove any excess lubricant on the pin-plate.
